A report from Times of Israel said Lady Gaga promoted the Israel concert weeks ago by releasing a video to greet her fans in the foreign country. The 10-second clip clip showed the "Born This Way" singer greeting her fans "Shalom", a Hebrew word which means "peace".

The video followed her concert management's announcement earlier that week that the Tel Aviv leg of her "artRave: The ARTPOP Ball" international tour will still proceed as planned amid Israeli and Palestine conflict..

Among the high-profile acts that cancelled their Israel shows due to the armed conflict were the Backstreet Boys, Lana Del Rey, and Neil Young. Prior to the pop diva's confirmation, speculations circulated that the Lady Gaga Israel concert will also be cancelled.
